The post-production of "The Night the Comet Comed" was fast, the video material was already filmed, and all that remained was the music and editing.

Because the script of this drama is written in detail, the film can be cut in the order of the script, so there is no difficulty in the editing process.

Yan Chi followed the post-production department for 10 days, basically pieced together the parts to be edited, and retouched the rest, and the finished film was completed.

The difficult part of this type of film is the script writing and preparation, and the shooting part is not difficult.

For example, the first part of the film history classic "Chainsaw" took only 18 days to shoot.

There is also the movie "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: Tongtian Sect Master" starring Li Lianjie, Zhang Min, and Qiu Shuzhen, which took only 10 days to shoot.

"Holy Martyrdom" took only 10 days, and "Dallas Sellers Club" took 15 days.

These films were all successful.

After Yan Chi finished cutting the film, he returned to the United States again with the finished product.

At this time, Hong Chen also came out of the border town and rushed to New York to join him, while Shang Yuyan went back to the company to continue to be busy with other things.

Hong Chen and Yan Chi needed to find an overseas distribution agent to distribute the film.

There are two ways for Chinese films to be distributed overseas, the first is to take their films to international exhibitions, for example, the Cannes Film Market is the place with the highest turnover rate of Chinese films.

But this method depends on the occasion, and it will only be introduced abroad after the movie has a certain reputation.

The second is to find an issuance agent, and after paying an agency fee, the issuing agent will negotiate the issue price and negotiation process.

While the two of them were busy looking for distribution agents in overseas markets, Huaxia's team and Liu Chenglu's team once again discussed Hongchen's matter.

The reason is very simple, Liu Chenglu has just received a new movie, "Pudong Fortress", this movie, which is expected to be released during the Spring Festival next year.

Their team learned that Hong Chen also made a movie last year, "The Wandering Earth", which has been confirmed to be set for next year's Spring Festival.

The two movies are both science fiction themes and Spring Festival files, and there is bound to be a dragon fight.

The Spring Festival market can be said to be the market with the largest annual capital in the Chinese film and television industry, as long as it can stand out in the Spring Festival, it is definitely blood money.

So, Yoo's team, and the company behind him, needed to make a way to deal with it as soon as possible.

"It's Hongchen again, why is this guy haunted!" Liu Chenglu was very unhappy. He didn't like the feeling of being pressed down on everything.

"According to his current popularity, the Spring Festival stalls will definitely be a box office hit, and we must find a way to make him lose a lot of popularity!" said a Han Guo planner in the team.

His words are very reasonable, Hong Chen's popularity is very high now, the traffic is large, the foundation is stable, and new works often explode. If they want to compete with Hong Chen, they must curb Hong Chen's popularity.

Kim Hyun-hee still has a cold face, and she has been haunted by the incident of Time Magazine last time.

This woman is a cautious eye, everyone in the company knows it, and no one dares to mess with her. Those who offend her often have no good fruit to eat.

"I have a way, even if I can't defeat him this time, I can still hit his arrogance hard. Kim Hyun-hee suddenly spoke.

As soon as she spoke, everyone's attention was instantly focused on her.

"Really?" Liu Chengliu was overjoyed, "Is there any black material from Hongchen?"

Jin Xianxi smiled smugly and said, "I just got the news recently that Hong Chen's new movie has been filmed. ”

Hearing Kim Hyun-hee talk about Hong Chen, Yoo Seung-ro's expression immediately became excited.

"The film, which took only 12 days to shoot, has a total investment of one million dollars. It is produced by his company and starring him. ”

"What?" Hearing Kim Hyun-hee's words, Yoo Seung-ro's eyes were full of disbelief.

"The total investment is only a million dollars, and it only took 12 days? What are you kidding?"

The rest of the team couldn't believe it was true.

You know, Hong Chen is now a first-class celebrity in China, and in order to enter Hollywood, he actually surrendered his identity to make this kind of movie?

With a total investment of one million US dollars, even if it is an online drama starring a fourth-tier actor in China, the investment is larger than this.

"Does Sister Jin mean that the article says: In order to enter the rice market, Hong Chen surrendered his identity to act in a movie with an investment of 1 million, and lost the face of the Chinese people?"

Kim Hyun-hee smiled coldly and nodded, "This nation is very proud, which is a good thing. But many people are very narrow-minded in this regard, as long as we do this to be a person who has lost China, he will definitely be criticized in the mouths of Chinese netizens. ”

Listening to Kim Hyun-hee's plan, the smile on Yoo Seung-ro's face grew brighter and brighter.

"Hahaha, great! So what are you waiting for?"

Kim Hyun-hee glanced at Yoo Seung-ro contemptuously, Yoo Seung-ro is a qualified traffic star, but he just has no brains.

"Of course, I will wait for his film to be officially released, or when it is a trailer. What's the use of bringing rhythm now? What will he do if more than a million movies are not released by then, and we will waste manpower in vain. ”

"I see. Hearing Kim Hyun-hee's explanation, Yoo Seung-ro understood.

Immediately, he smiled to himself.

On the other side, Hong Chen contacted Robert.

He joined the group "Fast and Furious 5", which was introduced by Robert.

It's easy to do things with acquaintances, and it's the same everywhere. Hong Chen is not familiar with the life in the United States now, and he needs to find some way.

His company has no business in the United States, so it is not easy to do things, and everything depends on him.

"Big distributors are enough, MGM, Paramount, and others who only release movies with big investments that have already caused a strong response, so I can only introduce you to a few small distribution companies. Robert said politely.

Hong Chen also understood this situation, so he replied: "It's okay. ”

"It's more troublesome to distribute movies, I can help you in the middle, you just have to negotiate with the company. Robert added.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Robert. ”

With Robert's help, Hong Chen also made an appointment with the heads of the three distribution companies.

Hotel de Monrijk, Penthouse Meeting Hall.

When Hong Chen arrived at the hotel, the heads of the three distribution companies and Robert had already arrived.

After Hong Chen, Yan Chi and the company's two assistants sat down, several people had a verbal exchange.

Hong Chen got a very unified answer from the mouths of these people.

That's this movie, they are only willing to give a C-grade evaluation, that is, they will only give C-grade movie treatment.

C-grade means six or four points, that is to say, the final income of this movie, Hong Chen, they can only recover sixty percent.

The heads of the three distribution companies said that the theme of this movie is too niche, the investment is not high, and there are no big Chinese actors to support the scene.

They can come, or give Robert face.

The publicity rating of the film is very important, there are five levels A, B, C, D, and E, and each level corresponds to the corresponding film.

C-grade, it means that the film distribution company is not optimistic.

"This movie is at least B+, not up to the production of a big movie, but the quality will not be bad. Robert said, still fighting for Hong Chen.

"Mr. Robert, I know that Mr. Hong Chen is very famous in China and even in Asia, but our market has a very low acceptance of Chinese actors, not to mention that they are the leading actors. "The head of a distribution company spoke his mind.

"C-level is already the limit, and we won't give in again. The other chimed in.

There is a hint of condescension in their words.

This is actually quite normal. Chinese movies are indeed unpopular in the United States.

Hong Chen also felt at this time how big the other party's prejudice was.

They are reluctant to release the film, and even if it does, they have to get a high share of the share.

"That's not to talk about. Hong Chen's face was expressionless, and others clearly looked down on his movies, so he naturally didn't want to talk more to them.

In his plan, the future film and television company will definitely be opened to the United States. Even if the film is not released for a year or two, it can be released when his company does it.

His losses won't be too big anyway.

Therefore, with this confidence, Hong Chen will not fall behind in negotiations, and it is impossible to beg others in a low voice.
